This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete... actually, there's another song that (mercifully) I don't hear played to death anymore that has a lot of meaning to me, because I lived alone and far away from any family for years and only came home at Christmas (if I could afford to come home at all), so I also ran into old friends from school then, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's called Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg. I totally related to that song and it still gets me when I hear it. Transports me.

ReplyDeleteSong: When I was kid, the choir in the church I attended would sing the song "Peace, Peace" (peace on earth and good will to all, this is the time for hope, this is a time for joy, now let us all sing together of peace, peace, peace on earth...) and at the same time the congregation would sing Silent Night. The two songs together would make me cry every time, and every single time I tell someone about this (even right now) I find myself choked up and tearing up.
Anonymous 11:57-Isn't Holiday great? So few people have heard of it, and I love to watch it on New Year's Eve. Lew Ayres is imcomparable as the brother. The whole cast is great. I think it's better than The Philadelphia Story.

ELF (I can't help it) and a tie between "We Need a Little Christmas" and "It's the Most wonderful Time of the Year." My mom bought a record ("That Christmas Feeling") at JCPenney when I was 3 and I still listen to it.
ReplyDeletewhat? It isn't Christmas without a little Handel. And I believe that the parts referring to the resurrection are saved for only Easter performances

ReplyDelete"Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues. How can you compete with a classic holiday line like "you scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot--happy Christmas your arse, I pray God it's our last"? Always gives me the warm and fuzzies.

ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVk6JKDa3zI
We traditionally watch an Esther Williams movie on Christmas
ReplyDeleteAnd, no contest, Christmas Wrapping.
Movie: Old School is a tie between We're No Angels (Bogart, Ustinov and Aldo Ray -- amazing!) and The Bishop's Wife (Cary Grant, David Niven) NOT to be confused with that garbage that Whitney Houston put out - blech

I also loooove the song Skating by Vince Guaraldi Trio its the song that comes on when Snoopy is ice skating.
ReplyDeleteAny of the classics, including TV shows like Charlie Brown and the original Grinch.

ReplyDelete2) Joy to the World. I also like the U2 and Boss Christmas versions of songs (Merry Christmas, Baby, Baby Please Come Home)
1. "Love Actually" and "A Christmas Story"
ReplyDelete2. "Blue Christmas" sung by Porky Pig
Another great Christmas tune is "Christmas Time is Here," as heard in the excellent "Charlie Brown's Christmas. Both always make me sentimental and weepy, in a good way.
ReplyDeleteOooh! One more song: "Please come home for Christmas" an old school song sung by Charles Brown.
ReplyDeleteIt was re done by the Eagles, but that newer version paled in comparison.
Whenever I hear the bells that begin that song, I get chills. It's a soulful Christmas tune.

Movie: The BBC version of A Little Princess starring Amelia Shankley.
ReplyDeleteSong: tossup between "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day", "Bring a Torch, Jeanetter Isabella" and "Good King Wenscelas."
@Ms. Cool - TOTALLY!!! I love that movie!!!
ReplyDeleteSo since that is taken .. "The Lion in Winter" .. O'Toole, Hepburn, Hopkins and Dalton .. freakin' amazing dialogue .. it's not traditional holiday fare .. but it is amazing none the less.
And Favorite song .. "Do You Hear What I Hear" .. by Bing Crosby .. which I was just SHOCKED to learn was written during the Cuban Missile Crisis and was recorded by Bing the day JFK was assassinated in Dallas ... : /

ReplyDeleteI deleted my post about the best Christmas song for folks not into Christmas songs .. I had posted Hollywood Undead's "Christmas in Hollywood" .. but I fear what you guy would think of me!! LOL!! Many bad words and often questionable materials sung about in there! But .. it is on You Tube if you would like to subject yourself to questionable holiday material!
ReplyDeleteBut then I thought about Jon La Joie's "Cold Blooded Christmas" .. still questionable and some bad language but funny as hell. When I saw it for the first time last year I damn near wet my pants laughing!
Merry Christmas Christmas and Christmas Song Dislikers!! Hope you like one of these!! ; )

3. Songs: Christmas Disco music (especially "What I Want For Christmas" from Christmas Disco Party - Close your eyes & the cheesy 1970's variety hour sets practically make themselves).
Movie - Bernard and the Genie, which I can't find anywhere. tv - I keep forgetting about Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean.
